ially the disease known as "Tuberculo
sis" or "Consumption.' Eastern and
Central North Carolina have not been
the recipients of this wonderful health
giving climate. Neither have many
other States been so favored.
From the viewpoint of Christian
Charity and unselfishness, we would
be doing wrong if we attempt to deny
others the advantage of this wonder
ful climate. .In the first place I do
not believe God intended us to feel
that lbs elixnatie condition we huv:
here are our own particular heritage,
nor to deny others the opportunity to
come here and avail themselves of its
curative effects. There can appear no
rational reason to my mind why God
should show such a discrimination.
Therefore I beMeve we should be un
selfish with it, and welcome every suf
fer who would be benefitted by it
Rut when we do welcome them, we
do have the right to insist that our "iins possessed by the laity concern-
